Introduction Cyber Security Dilemma We develop new Defenders are But then, measures through losing (or at best however, so advancing our playing catch-up), do the threat concepts, tools attackers are actors! and techniques winning (or at least calling the shots) 6
A Challenge Threat How can we decrease the chance of just making Defence incremental improvements which get outpaced? Defence Threat And increase the chance of producing a sustainable game- changer? What qualities do we need from the Australian R&D community?... 7
Modus Operandi in DST Group Cyber Assurance and Operations S&T We focus above mainstream We forecast and prototype We develop techniques to discover advanced forms of adversarial and counter their presence software and hardware. We demonstrate their likely appearance and effect We develop and use advanced cryptologic We develop tools and techniques techniques to discover vulnerabilities and fix and repeat predispositions We develop solutions BEFORE this!! for resilient and trustworthy ICT We demonstrate robust risk- We have impact based pervasive security We pursue autonomous and raise the bar… policy and architectures cyber defence solutions 8
